At Joint CPDM Anniversary Celebration: Shey Jones, Fuh Calistus Announce Tarring of the Ring Road

The permanent Coordinator of the CPDM for Donga Mantung Division has applauded

Shey Jones and Dr. Fuh Calistus

militants of the five sections of the ruling Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement-CPDM in the Division for their political maturity. Shey Jones Yembe made the statement while presiding the First ever Joint Anniversary of the CPDM at the Nkambe Community hall on March 24, 2018 where militants gathered to celebrate the 33 years of continued existence of the party since its creation in Bamenda. The joint anniversary celebration which took place under the chairmanship of the Permanent Coordinator of the CPDM for Donga Mantung brought together militants and sympathizers of Donga Mantung I (Nkambe), Donga Mantung II (Ndu), Donga Mantung III (Nwa), Donga Mantung IV (Misaje) and Donga Mantung V (Ako).

In appreciating his comrades of the CPDM for their political maturity, Shey Jones Yembe said “I must say Donga Mantung Division has shown a lot of maturity. And we have just come here to encourage the people to continue to be supportive and support the CPDM party”. According to Shey Jones Yembe the Division will have returns in terms of development given that the nation is aware of their support to the ruling party.

Harping on why Donga Mantung people should support the CPDM, Shey Jones Yembe heighted some of the major achievements of the party in the Division. More importantly, Shey Jones revealed that the stretch of the Bamenda Ring road from Kumbo to Misaje will be tarred. He used the occasion to congratulate CPDM militants of the five sections for the confidence and the moral support they have bestowed in the ruling party. “The President of the Republic is a human being. He needs all these people to support him so that he can continue to deliver for our nation. And Donga Mantung has been one of those Divisions that has been standing to the taste of supporting the unity of our country. So we came mostly to thank our people and to remind them that the country knows about it and we will have returns in terms of development”, he told journalists in an interview.

On his part, Dr. Fuh Calistus Gentry, Secretary of State in the Ministry of Mines, Industries and Technological Development said the marriage between the CPDM and Donga Mantung is a genuine one. He emphasized that President Biya has done a lot to maintain national unity since crisis started in the North West and South West regions. He also reminded CPDM militants that government has taken the development of Donga Mantun Division as priority reasons why government has continued with its great efforts to look for finances to tarr the ring road. “Projects are on and government has made tremendous efforts to seek finances to continue the development of the Ring Road”. He revealed that about 50 billion francs is tipped for the road and that technicians are on the feild mapping. Worthy to note that the delegate of Public works had summoned a meeting with all those whose structures are near the road to road so they are eventually compensated in case of damages.

Militants were reminded that this year is an election year and they should work hard to make sure that the CPDM emerges victorious in the entire Division.

Some of the speakers at the Joint Anniversary celebration in Nkambe included Ngabir Paul Bantar (Mayor of Nkambe) and Gerard Ngala (Section President). The celebrations ended with the reading of a Motion of Support which was addressed to the chairman of the CPDM, President Paul Biya.

Sparrow Hawk: Three High Profile Personalities Arrested for Alleged Financial Malpractices

Three high profile personalities including a former minister have been detained in Yaoundé for alleged financial malpractices. They were hawked by the famous anti-corruption operation "Sparrow Hawk”.  Reports say Louis Max Ohandja, former Secretary of State to the Minister of Public Works, in charge of roads, Jean William Sollo, former boss of a public company and Bruno Bekolo Ebe, former rector of the University of Douala, were placed Wednesday night in custody in  Kondengui, the central prison of Yaounde .

They are accused of transforming state funds into private pockets, but according what we gathered the amounts will be known only after the judicial proceeding will be opened. It is said that the Special Criminal Court (TCS), a judicial body that indicted the three personalities is working round the clock interrogating other accomplices.

 William Sollo, according to the same source, is subject to a procedure for alleged misappropriation of funds within the Cameroon water utilities corporation (Camwater). From 2012 to 2016, Mr. Sollo managed this public company, which recently took over water distribution service from a private company.

 Bekelo Ebe is suspected of financial malpractices at the University of Douala. In 2014, the Fiscal and Budgetary Disciplinary Committee, an official investigation unit on governance issues in public administrations and public companies, declared Bekolo Ebe debtor of the sum of 2.4 billion FCFA
